Jen & Sam: Rustic Summer Wedding at Huntsmill Farm

With the clearest blue sky and temperatures soaring to 38c, Jen & Sam’s sunny June wedding day was one of the hottest days I’ve ever photographed!

One of my favourite things about Huntsmill Farm is the charming cottage accommodation they have on site, which meant I had the opportunity to flit between both Jen and Sam’s rooms and photograph them both getting ready.

Their ceremony took place at the nearby St Edward’s church in Shalstone, a charming countryside church and the perfect setting for their vows. It was such a joyful ceremony which ended in a shower of confetti as Jen and Sam left the church with beaming smiles as a newly married couple.

We returned to Huntsmill Farm to continue the celebrations, with Jen and Sam arriving in style in a tuk tuk as a nod to their love for travelling. Guests enjoyed drinks under the shade of the trees, along with garden games and canapes.

The barn was transformed for the wedding breakfast, with fairy lights and a big floral installation hanging from the beams. Each table was named after a place they had travelled to, a lovely personal touch which I’m sure had everyone reminiscing about their own adventures! The speeches were a highlight, filled with laughter and heartfelt moments.

With a day this sunny it’s a pretty safe bet we’ll get a fabulous golden hour and that was exactly the case here! I whisked them away for photos in the nearby fields as the sun set, a little serene moment for them in the midst of the excitement of the day.

The celebrations continued as the sun set, with everyone dancing the night away to a fantastic live band. It was a fantastic day through and through and such a joy to capture.

Thank you Jen and Sam for having me along for the ride! Your day was fantastic and I wish you guys a lifetime of happiness.
